CSK vs RCB Ball by Ball Commentary

7:50 AM IST Right, then. That is all from this game. But don't go anywhere as the second game of the day between Hyderabad and Delhi is underway at Chennai. Switch over tabs to catch all the action from that game.

2:35 PM IST Ravindra Jadeja is the Player of the Match. He has been exceptional with the bat, with the ball, and also out on the field. Well deserved!

2:35 PM IST Earlier in the day, some brilliant hitting firstly by Faf du Plessis, and then some mind-blowing batting by Jadeja, in the final over of the game, where they collected 37 runs, saw Chennai finishing with a top total in the first innings. They backed that display with a brilliant performance in the field and with the ball and they won the game comfortably in the end.

7:51 AM IST Chennai was on the back foot only in the Powerplay of the run chase and even then, they snared the wicket of Kohli and Padikkal. When Jadeja and Tahir were introduced into the attack, Bangalore completely crumbled. Jadeja was on fire with the bat, with the ball, as he snared 3 wickets, and also scored a run out. Tahir complimented him well. Thakur was also very economical as he ended with figures of 4-0-11-1. Overall, it was a complete performance by the Men in Yellow.

2:34 PM IST Bangalore got the start that they needed, but after that, there was not much assistance, from any of the batters. Padikkal went hard in the Powerplay, but after he lost his wicket shortly after, it was a complete implosion from Bangalore. None of the batters could handle the spin twins of Jadeja and Tahir and that means that Chennai ends Bangalore's unbeaten run this season.

7:52 AM IST What a display this has been by Chennai! Or should we rather say, what a display this has been from Ravindra Jadeja! He took responsibility towards the end of their batting innings and rocketed Chennai to a big score, and then, with the ball and out on the field, he put up a god-like display which propelled Chennai to the top of the table.

12:19 PM IST A length ball on middle, Siraj swings and the ball takes the inside edge and goes to short fine leg for one. CHENNAI WIN BY 69 RUNS!

1:02 PM IST Who comes out now? It is Harshal Patel!

1:00 PM IST OUT! TIMBER! Jadeja is making a mockery of this game. It seems like it is Jadeja vs Bangalore here, and not Chennai. He did it with the bat, and now he is doing it with the ball and out on the field. This is slightly shorter and lands on leg, AB de Villiers makes room and looks to work this one to the off side.

12:55 PM IST Strategic Time-Out! Chennai are on top here. They did not get off to the greatest of starts with Padikkal giving Bangalore a very good start but once Kohli fell, it has all been Chennai. Jadeja has been the star with the ball as well. He sent Sundar packing and now has picked up Maxwell. Bangalore need an AB special now if they want to win this game. Dan Christian can bat but it will not be easy. Dan Christian is the next man in.

12:51 PM IST OUT! TIMBER! Maxwell goes back now and Chennai are doing really well to take wickets at regular intervals. Bangalore are on the back foot here as they lose another wicket. It is also the big wicket of Maxwell and he would have wanted to stay out there for as long as he could. Bowls a full and floated ball on middle and leg, Glenn Maxwell goes on his knees and looks to slog this one to the leg side but he misses as the ball skids through slightly.

He gets the required elevation on this, but not the distance. Ruturaj Gaikwad settles under this one and takes the skier safely. 127 more needed in 82 balls.

12:42 PM IST Flatter and around off, Sundar pushes it back to the bowler.

12:41 PM IST A couple to end the over! A back of a length ball around off, Maxwell punches this one through cover-point for a brace. Bangalore are at 65/2 at the end of the Powerplay.

12:42 PM IST There is a slight halt in play as Maxwell needs a change of bat.

12:41 PM IST Nice change up for Curran. He bowls a shortish length ball around off, slower too, Glenn Maxwell leaves it be, thinking it could be a wide. But the umpire does not think so. A dot.

12:40 PM IST Comes 'round the wicket and bowls a slower length ball on off, Glenn pushes this one to mid off.

12:36 PM IST OUT! CAUGHT AT SQUARE LEG! Padikkal's innings is over! He played very well while it lasted but he needed to continue.

12:28 PM IST Who comes out at Number 3? Slightly change in the batting order for Bangalore as Washington Sundar comes out now.
